Here's the ASMR version of my latest video, well, it's simply the natural sounds from the making process, I'm not tapping the mic or anything has heinous as that. If you'd like to watch the fully narrated edition, which goes into a lot more depth, you can watch that here:    • Unpack My Gas Kiln With Me  

Unpack my reduction fired gas kiln with me! This week, I'm inviting you along to unload my Rohde KG-340 kiln, to see all the thrown and trimmed and glazed pots inside. I also discuss how I tidy the work up the bases of my wares with diamond pads, and how I grind the lids of my jars to a glassy smooth finish. A slower, more considered film, that hopefully demonstrates what it's like unpacking a pottery kiln. Thanks for watching!
